Endorsement: Claire Valdez for Congress (NY‑07)

This is Endorsement #12 — for Claire Valdez, running for Congress in New York’s 7th Congressional District (NY‑07).

She’s an Assemblymember, a union organizer, and a proud democratic socialist running a campaign centered on housing, healthcare, and workers’ rights.

She’s also been endorsed by labor leaders, including UAW President Shawn Fain, and by Zohran Mamdani.

Why this endorsement

• Labor movement candidate. A working‑class, union‑rooted voice who talks about corporate power like it’s real (because it is).
• Affordability first. A serious focus on housing costs, healthcare, and dignity for working people.
• Solidarity beyond borders. Clear opposition to funding forever wars, and a willingness to stand up against systems that cage and terrorize working families.

If that’s the kind of representation you want in Congress, chip in, volunteer, and share the campaign.
